Apparently there are native-born Americans who want to work as coal miners since they supported Trump because he said he would bring back those jobs. What do such jobs pay?

It's not that American workers won't do the "back breaking" labor. It's that they won't do it at the wages that are being offered.
That's an important fact. And a troublesome one.
Hard labor should be worth more than poverty wages, whether it's carpentry or picking apples. But we like our cheap produce so we'd rather not do anything about it.
And I wouldn't call $20 an hour for renovating a kitchen "fair" by any stretch of the imagination. Fair to whom?
The American workers that complain about their "jobs being stolen" should really say the jobs they aren't willing to do are being stolen.
